Troubleshooting Guide In general, possible trouble is classified in two kinds. The one is called Starting Failure which is caused from an electrical defect, and the other is ineffective Air Conditioning caused by a defect in the refrigeration circuit and improper application. Unit runs but poor cooling.

Capacitor check. Replacement Irregular motor resistance ( Irregular motor insulation ( Replacement of compressor (Motor damaged) 27 Room Air Conditioner Fails to Start Improper thermostat setting. Loose terminal connection. Improper wiring. Check circuit breaker and fuse. Gas leakage of feeler bulb of thermostat Check of control switch.
Electrical Parts Troubleshooting Guide Possible Trouble 1 The unit does not operate. Is the Trans output power AC 220V? Is the Trans output power about AC 14V? Is output Voltage of IC01D DC 12V? Is output Voltage of IC02D DC 5V? Is the reset circuit all right? (The No.16 of Micom is 5V.)
Page 30
Possible Trouble 3 The compressor always operate. Is the wire connection of RY-COMP all right? • Check the RY-COMP. 29 Room Air Conditioner • Select the setting Temp. to lower Number. Is the voltage N0.7 of IC01M DC 5V? • Exchange IC01M.
Page 31
Possible Trouble 4 FAN does not operate. Is the voltage NO.1 or 4 of IC01M DC 5V? Is the voltage NO.13 or 16 of IC01M 0V? • Check the RY-Hi or RY-Lo. • Check the wiring diagram. Possible Trouble 5 Auto Swing does not operate.
